Although I'm afraid of heights, I nervously climbed out onto the balcony and sat on the edge, shivering.

First of all, since I'd made a threat, I had to see it through. Secondly, I was genuinely terrified of being accused of making false reports to the police.

I held onto the railing tightly, kept my eyes shut, and didn't dare look down. I had never felt such a strong desire to survive.

After coming up, I realized that men are just a bunch of rubbish! Not worth me risking my life to threaten. Besides, reporting a false alarm was all Zheng Ji Wang's doing. People like him, whose brains are entirely filled with class differences, need to be caught and reformed.

But my legs went weak, and for a moment, I couldn't bring myself to go back down on my own.

Officer, comrade, sir, or whatever else you are, please come and talk me out of this! I promise I'll agree to come back down with just a couple of words of persuasion from you.

I definitely don't want to really risk my life over a dog of a man!

The sound of a police siren grew closer, and the person living upstairs noticed the disturbance first.

The lady from upstairs leaned out and, with a look of sadness a hundred times greater than mine, loudly urged me:

"Girl, please don't jump. I'm about to sell my house. If you jump, how am I going to sell this house?"

"Because of relationship issues? Listen to me, at my age, men are just like unattended dogs -- you mustn't do something foolish."

The pure interest made this lady show great concern for me. At this moment, her care for me far exceeded that of Zheng Ji Wang, who claimed to love me the most.

The police burst in, and when they saw me, my face went red.

Purely because I was going to be saved, I was excited.

The two police officers spoke gently, "Girl, don't be impulsive. Whatever the problem is, we can solve it. If we can't solve it, we'll find a way to help you. Can we help you back up here?"

I eagerly and resolutely agreed, "Okay!"

They were a bit stunned, probably not used to seeing me being so quick to agree.

I knew I should hesitate a bit longer, but I was simply too scared; I just wanted to get back to safety as soon as possible.

After being pulled up by the two police officers, my legs were very weak. I sat for a while before eventually managing to stand up.

After some comforting and educating, I promised with a firm and proper attitude, "Officer, I won't act foolish again. Thank you, thank you very much."

After all, I had just been talking tough before, but I actually treasured my life a lot.

The police left, and I went to the cloakroom. Looking at myself in the mirror, I cried tears of relief.

My hair was only half curled - I really looked terrible.

After a good cry, my eyes were swollen, making me look even worse.

I held back my tears and tremblingly persisted in finishing curling my hair. It did indeed make a big difference in my appearance.

There was some noise outside, and I thought it was the locksmith, but it turned out to be that scoundrel Zheng Ji Wang.
